Last night we invented the Glorious Game of Scrabble-Ping-Pong. Similar to the famed sport of Chess-Boxing but far less painful, Scrabble-Ping-Pong is a game of speed, quick thinking, and real-time strategy.

The Rules of Scrabble-Ping-Pong are as follows:

Round 1: Two alternating moves of Scrabble per player.

Round 2: Five serves of Ping-Pong per player.

First player to get 200 points in Scrabble OR 25 points in Ping-Pong is declared the winner.

Alternate between rounds of Scrabble and Ping-Pong until either player wins.

Local rules of Scrabble and Ping-Pong apply.

Each move in Scrabble is timed and given at most 2 minutes.

No breaks or rest intervals between rounds of Scrabble and Ping-Pong.

Live scoreboard must be clearly visible to both players at all times to enable dynamic strategizing.

In case of a tie in one game, the winner is declared based on the other game.

In case of a tie in both games, feel free to make up your own tie-breakers.

Our scoreboard from last night, colorfully filled-in by Juliet, is shown below:
